Mother Africa Lyrics

(A) place that gives you feeling

keeps your heart on the move.
Baby, takes your troubles away.

Takes you to a land where drums are louder and pure

Twenty four hours a day.

It's early, early Afro music

look up to the moon.

Beggar man, he's strolling, where nothing

keeps him going.

Dance me through the morning

(The) jungle gives a warning.

Any kind of weather, the people crack the leather (singing):
(reprise)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Mother Africa!

Tempting and inviting

Beautiful, exciting.

The beginning of a brand new life.

(repeat reprise)

Just take it steady, child, and point you hand to the moon
We don't have to hide it when we stand on our own.

Baby, we can make it, keep your foot in the shoe

I know we're gonna make it, (so) come on

let's go and take it (singing):

(reprise)

Talking about a brand new life with you.

It's something, child, we need to do.

(I'm talking about) Africa!

(repeat three more times)

(reprise)
